After conquering the first three Grand Slam events of the season, Novak Djokovic is poised to lift the final Grand Slam event of the season. The US Open, played on the hard courts, a surface that suits the Serbian player best. Besides, he has displayed some of the best tennis this year. 

Recently, Toni Nadal highlighted the dominance of Djokovic. He feels now that the Serb has finally caught up with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal and has his first opportunity to go past the two legends of the game. However, he does believe that his nephew can be the man who will derail the Serb off his tracks. 

Speaking on this subject, Toni Nadal stated, “But this victory at Wimbledon goes to show something else. The Balkan seems to be, at the moment, the one with the best momentum to proclaim himself the winner in the fight to score the highest number of Grand Slams.”

Rafael Nadal best candidate to take on Novak Djokovic 

The US Open is the last Grand Slam event of the season. Over the past four years, Nadal has won the US Open twice. In that case, if there is anyone who has the best chance to stop the Serbian player, it is Rafa. After all these years, if there is one thing Toni Nadal hasn’t given up on, it is his trust in his nephew. 

The 60-year-old further added, “In a month and a half, the US Open will be played and there he will have his first chance to get ahead on the scoreboard. Although it is also true that Rafael will fight for his, and if I have never lost something, it is my unshakable faith in him.”

At the moment, Rafa is preparing himself for the upcoming US Series. He was seen practicing on the hard courts in his academy. It will be interesting to see how he performs in the North American region.
